This course is aimed at introducing students at the chemical synthesis of biological macromolecules as peptides, nucleic acids and Peptide Nucleic Acids. Basic information on the chemical structure of the molecules will be given first, followed by an illustration of the techniques currently employed for the synthesis of these molecules. Chemical reactions occurring in the various step of the synthesis will be illustrated. Level 1; Course Director: Alessandra Romanelli IBB Italy. Further details on this course can be found here.
